This is the fifth day when he hasn't slept at a steady sleep. Old Xu couldn't hold on that night and stayed halfway. Although he was a martial arts practitioner, he was still unforgivable and could not withstand such torture. Zhang Ning expressed his understanding. Zhao Erniang's physical strength was also unable to keep up, so she just stayed to take care of Old Xu so that Xu Wenjun, who was young and martial arts practitioners, continued to rush along with Zhang Ning.
In fact, the person who can't stand the most is Zhang Ning.
The scholar's body, coupled with overdrawing his physical strength and resting at the Chunhan Pear Orchard, felt that his bones were about to fall apart.
The object of people constantly fighting is actually not anyone else, but themselves, and many things are more difficult than thinking.
A modern celebrity once said that there are many ways to go in life, but the key is only those few steps.
But not everyone can take a few steps, because everyone's essential nature has long been destined.
Destiny may be truly determined by heaven, and the Creator has settled from the beginning.
And Zhang Ning will not surrender in the face of pressure. He is a person who is soft but not hard.
He would not give up the future he could see as long as he persisted in it; not to mention that the old man who disagreed with him in the Nanjing Imperial City would whisper from time to time, and he would definitely not allow Zhang Ning to retreat halfway.
Buddha fought for a stick of incense and people fought for a breath, and Zhang Ning insisted on following the horse team to prove that the plan he proposed was effective.
He is the kind of stubborn person, and he has a bit of rebellious mentality. The more he forces him, the more he says he is wrong and the more he wants to fuck him.
When a boy in his previous life was educated by his teacher, he never admitted his mistakes, and later he dared to run away from home. Perhaps he would have realized earlier that he had done something wrong.
Isn’t it just that he hasn’t had a break for four or five days? His weakness is not here.He didn't say anything along the way, nor did he fall behind. He got on the horse and stopped.
In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his childhood grandmother's house, a very high mountain. He was carrying a bag of sweet potatoes to climb up the mountain.
The carving is not heavy, but it is really stressful for a child a few years old, and he can't climb it when he reaches the hillside.
The sun shook his eyes dazzled over his head, and sweat accidentally soaked into his eyes, feeling a little tingling.
I don’t know why I didn’t throw my back, but I was fine when I cried and made a fuss. He just wanted to carry these sweet potatoes to the top of the mountain to complete his mission...
Suddenly, my feelings were so clear, as if yesterday had happened, and there was only one feeling: I didn’t have to recite the poem, even if I was bored, I should be very happy, at least I don’t have to endure the pain I am now.
……
Yes, this is how Zhang Ning feels now.
After another whole night passed, he had reached the critical point of human potential.
Perhaps the most unbearable thing for people is not pain, but hunger, thirst, and tiredness. Wanting to sleep is instinct.
At this time, he had already abandoned all kinds of desires, such as promotion and wealth, and what he usually wanted, and at this time he had no attraction to him.
He just thought: Even if he had nothing, it would be a very happy thing to be able to sleep comfortably.
Happiness may be so simple, it is a relative satisfaction.
However, he did not say that he would stop halfway. The motivation for his advancement a day ago was still the future, but now this motivation has disappeared. As for why he didn't stop, he himself didn't know, but simply felt that he had to send the prince to the capital to stop.
In the morning, the horse team arrived at a post station again, so they stopped to replenish supplies, mainly changing the post horse.
Everyone took out their snacks and sat around to eat and drink water. Zhang Ning found a place to sit down and leaned against the wall. He looked half-dead and couldn't eat anything. He lifted his arms and drank two sips of water weakly.
Zhu Zhanji sat on a chair surrounded by everyone, waiting for his subordinates to present the fine snacks he brought from the palace.
His appearance does not look like his father, Emperor Hongxi, but is very similar to Emperor Yongle of Taizong. Did his grandfather like it very much at the time? The great factor in establishing a prince was also considered that this grandson could inherit the throne.
Zhu Zhanji is tall, burly and strong, and has a good body and is not fat at all. No wonder he still has a gaze like a torch and is full of energy. But unlike Emperor Yongle, Zhu Zhanji has lived well since childhood and has been educated and read a lot of books. Not only does he have the heroic spirit of Yongle, but his every move also has a kind of elegant style.
The ministers had high hopes for such an emperor who was both civil and military, and people hoped that after he was in power, he could create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.
It has been almost two days since I left the palace and the road was very smooth.
Zhu Zhanji also increasingly felt that this light cavalry's method of going north was very effective. It was not only saves trouble than heavy army guards, but also looks very stable, just as Zhang Ning said that the King of Han was too late.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji asked additionally: Where is Zhang Ning?
Everyone around him paid great attention to the question of this person who was about to become the emperor and hurriedly looked around with his eyes. He saw Zhang Ning leaning against the exterior wall of the house without moving.
Hu Ying hurriedly pointed: He is there... Your Highness, Zhang Ning didn't sleep for five or six nights, maybe he couldn't stand it.
Another person shouted: Master Zhang, Your Highness summoned him!
Zhang Ning hurriedly stood up and walked to Zhu Zhanji and bowed without saying a word.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the young official in front of him with great interest, and looked back and said: Zhang Ning is a good minister who can do practical things, and he is rewarded with these snacks.
For a moment, everyone was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.Zhang Ning also hurriedly said: I thank Your Highness for your kindness.
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: Yang Shiqi is a good assistant to the elder country of the three dynasties, and he is very insightful in recommending people.
Zhang Ning thought for a moment and said: I have not arrived in the capital for a day, but I should not take it lightly.
The King of Han would definitely not be able to come in a short day, but he has always been a crowded person, so it is inevitable that he will arrange small groups of people to find out the news in advance, because he is afraid that those people will cause trouble.
Hu Ying echoed, and he seemed to be venting his anger on the same nostril as Zhang Ning, and he was very close to him.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning said: I also recommend one person. My servant is Xu Wenjun. He has followed his elders through the world and is knowledgeable about small doors and paths, so she can prevent problems before they happen.
Accurate.Zhu Zhanji agreed casually.
The original composition of the horse team was accompanied by warriors and other core personnel in the middle, and slaves like Xu Wenjun followed behind.After setting off again, she explored the way forward according to the prince's order.
Unexpectedly, by chance, Xu Wenjun discovered the situation at noon.
The people in front shouted, and the horse team suddenly stood up in a mess halfway.
Zhang Ning followed Zhu Zhanji and others to look forward to see the situation. Xu Wenjun stammered and couldn't explain it clearly. Maybe he was tired or maybe he was nervous when he was watched by so many people.
Zhang Ning hurriedly pleaded for her: The servant has never seen the world before, so he is definitely not disrespectful to the prince. I will go and take a look.
After a while, Zhang Ning came back and said, "Report to Your Highness, there is something wrong. There are several cars walking towards you on the post road, occupying all the road."There are endless trades between post roads between South Beijing, how can there be a way to occupy all the roads on both sides?
Xu Wenjun nodded quickly and said: That's it!
How many people are there?Zhu Zhanji asked.Zhang Ning replied: There were about a dozen people rushing to the bus on the road.Zhu Zhanji immediately ordered: Be wary and go up and drive him away.
The soldiers pressed their weapons in their hands, and some took off their crossbows. The team of horses remained vigilant and continued to move forward.
After a while, they saw the carriages, and they stopped and slowly gave way to the side, which seemed to be a normal encounter.
A general beside Zhu Zhanji spoke out: I would like to lead the army to search the grass on both sides.
When the prince nodded, the general called a few people, dismounted and carried weapons to search the weeds on the roadside, while waving with a knife.
At this moment, the people who were driving the car suddenly jumped out of the car and began to untidy the horse.
Two people rushed out of the grass and ran away. The nearby guards immediately picked up the crossbow and fired arrows. The two men fell to the ground after a few strings.
Seeing something happening here, everyone shouted: Protect Your Highness!Without thinking about whether to gossip or not, the soldiers drew out their weapons to surround Zhu Zhanji in the middle and waited for it.
The people who drove the car took off their horses and rode on their horses. The soldiers did not dare to underestimate the enemy and did not pursue them.
Then, crossbows and arrows were found from the two corpses that were shot, and then dug out the tripping rope hidden below from the sand on the road.
A minister said in disgrace: This man's indiscriminate plots must be the minion of the King of Han.
Another person also said angrily: If you actually did this, the King of Han was unjust and the court should ask him about his serious crime!
The generals who came back from searching for the grass were talking a little more: Report to Your Highness, those carriages pretended to give way on the road, wanting to divide our horse team into slender columns, and then use tripping ropes to block them. The crossbowmen in the grass wanted to shoot hidden arrows while the chaos was in chaos.Fortunately, we found it early to be in danger.Seeing that the conspiracy was exposed, the thieves lost their power to our guards, so they fled in a hurry and only captured two of them.
Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: These people will not be able to act temporarily after receiving the order from Shandong. It is too late to go up.It should be the spy arranged by the King of Han on the road in advance and ordered them to take risks if they meet His Highness.
I have ulterior motives and have planned it long ago!Someone next to him cursed.
Zhu Zhanji said calmly: Keep rushing, these evil ways cannot do anything to me.
It was only about two days and two nights to reach the capital.
Within two days, it would be good that the King of Han could get the news that the prince was already on Shangjing Road, and it would be obvious that he would not be able to catch up if he sent troops to intercept him.
Sure enough, there was no accident again. Zhu Zhanji had only more than twenty riders on his left and right, and drove up from under the nose of the Han King in Le'an, Shandong.
The capital was already in front of him, and the throne was right in front of him. The sadness and tiredness of losing his father could not conceal the secret excitement on Zhu Zhanji's face.
Zhang Ning felt that he was about to die of shock, and the bed at home had already appeared in his mind.
In fact, the person who can't stand the most is Zhang Ning.
The scholar's body, coupled with overdrawing his physical strength and resting at the Chunhan Pear Orchard, felt that his bones were about to fall apart.
